Lauren's Awesome Website

Online timewasting games.

Burn The Rope. Totally ace. The song at the end MAKES it.

Chain Factor. Nickoli and I have played this for hours. LIterally.

Bow Man. Amazing.

Boomshine. The soothing music only makes it more aggravating.

My So-Called Life, starring Claire Danes

I love it. A lot. Probably a little too much. OH WAIT, NOT POSSIBLE.

I just want to hug it and cuddle it. Is that weird? Anyway, coming of age TV series, cancelled TRAGICALLY. Amazing.

And don’t miss hot 90s fashion. Leslie, this should have been your era, what with everyone weearing their dad’s flannel shirts.

Capote - Starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, Directed by Bennet Miller

Love it. A lot. I read In Cold Blood last year, and pretty much became totally fascinated by that decade, and especially by Truman Capote himself. Really interesting guy. I found the biography by Gerald Clarke in McKay’s, last time I was in Knoxville, for like a dollar, and I devoured it. Really cool.

Aside from that, the film is really well done, tightly directed, and moving – it really made me think, and told a really moving, sad, powerful story.

Probably not something to watch alone at night, though.

Sunshine by Robin McKinley

This is really just a test post by Nickoli, but Lauren really does think that Sunshine by Robin McKinley is awesome.
